Hourly themes for this week's show! 1st hour: birthday haul, more albums I got for the big day earlier this month: Carmen McRae, Hank Mobley, J.J. Johnson/Kai Winding... Hour Two: Variety! Albums/artists I don't normally get to like Danilo Perez, Bob Mintzer... Hour Three: Heavy on the 70's and then the Virgin Sacrifice! This month it's Herbie Nichols, all of side one of "Love, Gloom, Cash, Love". Never heard it before - should be fun! Hour Four: Mixed bag... celebrating Mile's birthday, Kevin Eubanks for no reason, and a mammoth jazz odyssey, albeit a bebop one, to close the show from Dizzy, Sonny & Sonny! Facebook me. Tweet me. Or just tune in online on Tuesday May 27th from 3-7pm eastern via iHeart (or 88.5FM in NE Florida). See you then! - Kendo
